babyguffingtonstrikesagain · 21/06/2021 12:18

Not just Leo. Saint Leo.

Don't be making Bolt seem like he can name 1 of the 3 well Grin

SionnachRua · 21/06/2021 12:19

And the daughter is Olympia Lightning, in case anyone didn't know.

AnyFucker · 21/06/2021 12:20

My mistake. I knew there was a Saint in there somewhere Smile

SoupDragon · 21/06/2021 12:20

"Saint Leo" is Usain's middle name.

stickygotstuck · 21/06/2021 12:22

Love Thunder! Although it's a horse name round my way, really.
Also love Lightning.

I fear little St Leo will feel left out one day Wink

Amdone123 · 21/06/2021 12:33

Hope they all do well on Sports Day.

AnyFucker · 21/06/2021 12:42

Good luck to ‘em

Now Lightening bolt I get. But you don't get a bolt of thunder do you...it's a clap of thunder, so not sure Thunder Bolt works.

But I quite like them all. Obviously only for his kids, not for normal people! :)

Queen (the band) would beg to differ

have you never listened to Bohemian Rhapsody...

GreenCrayon · 21/06/2021 12:49

Poor kids. Its bad enough poor Thunder has a joke name but I also really dislike that their twin is called Saint so people will spend their childhood making the comment that this one is the 'good' twin.

LostInTime · 21/06/2021 12:50

Aw, I was hoping for Thunder and Lightning!
Americans definitely say 'thunderbolt'

Sandsnake · 21/06/2021 12:50

I think Olympia Lightning Bolt is fantastic!

30degreesandmeltinghere · 21/06/2021 12:53

Imagine instead of track sport one loves playing boules..

Thunder Bolt the famous boules player!!

Wouldn't give me much confidence if he was an orthopedic surgeon..
Dr Thunder Bolt!!

CovidCorvid · 21/06/2021 12:56

Ah yes, how can I forget Bohemian Rhapsody.

Poor kid will probably have that sung to his face every day at school!

Maybe he should have called the 3rd kid Frightening.

HareofEasttown · 21/06/2021 12:58

Celebrities' names for their children are always ridiculous. Imagine being a teacher in Beverly Hills.

LostInTime · 21/06/2021 12:58

And there is a v old British film named The Titfield Thunderbolt, about a steam train/railway.

If you listen to Bohemian Rhapsody it is ' Thunder bolt and lightening'

I agree with other PP Saint leo is going to wonder where his name fits in.

RaindropsOnRosie · 21/06/2021 13:05

Probably because he knows if they're bullied at school he could get a private tutor in! I'm all for unique names but Saint and Thunder aren't proper names. My friend's kids are called Gardner and Pool, I think the next will be Landscaper or LawnMower. Ridiculous!

2bazookas · 21/06/2021 13:17

Poor kids.

Still, as I recall Zowie Bowie chose to be called Joe at school.

FrogFairy · 21/06/2021 13:32

Nick Cannon has some oddly named kids.

Moroccan and Monroe (not too bad) but also Golden, Powerful, Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir.

GreenCrayon · 21/06/2021 13:34

Maybe when he is very young but as he gets older I suspect he's going to be exceeding grateful he's not called Thunder and that he lucked out with a very normal middle name he can use without all the hassle of changing his name.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 21/06/2021 13:45

Saint Leo's nice or even just Saint. He was hardly going to call them Sam and Tom was he. I don't like Thunder though. Its not even the actual vibe.
Its the sound I don't like
